Drock6687 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 So it looks like I have one day tomorrow to go fishing at a local lake (banniser/wrigly lake in Ary ontario) before pike are closed for a couple months... I know they are a warm water fish but the last is very showell in most places being less then 10 feet deep everywhere... Would some top water baits be the best worked slowly towards the weeds??? Any help would be awesome guys, thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drock6687 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I wasn't aware that you were allowed to fish there. Maybe it's just from a boat you are allowd to fish from shore just there are no boats allowed in the last which is a same cause there are some big pike in there around the shore so im sure there are even more big ones in a lake that fair size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall properly one lake has a sign posted, the other doesnt.When I went there I was at a t in the rd and turned right.The one on the left had a sign. beleive there was a nursery on the right side at the corner.Sorry, its been a while since ive been there.

Musky or Specks Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 No boats on Bannister its a very large heron rookery. Both lakes have pike and crappie but suffer a lot of winter kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the guys I know who catch the big ones catch them on the Bannister Lake side and use minnows. I think you are probably better off to get away from the road - way too much pressure there. I usually go in to the Wrigley lake side, walk in and pick a secluded spot. Caught 4 or five last year, and lost a few lures in the snags too. i find you get bigger and better fighters in the Nith if you can find a spot that hasn't been trampled to death. Haysville and near the pumpkin farm are pretty good once you've walked in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
